And His name

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  – Isaiah 9v6

There is a lot of name given to the child we talked about yesterday. But, as we pointed out He was no ordinary child!

And His name shall be called:

Wonderful – The Child was wonderful in the total sense of the world. He is full of wonder that we will never completely understand. This word is translated in other places as ‘mystery’ and that suits because we can never grasp His wonder.

Counsellor – He is the One who is the ultimate source of counsel. Human counsellors may fail but He never will.

Mighty God – the omnipotent One. There is nothing we are going to face today that is stronger than God.

Everlasting Father – My spiritual Daddy will always be there when I need Him. Always.

Prince of Peace – For all of the great peacekeepers the world has seen not a one of them has brought real peace. The Prince of Peace Himself will.

Praise God for just an insight into what He can do for us if we will let Him and quit trying to do it ourselves.
